[6.1b1, Windows 2000] I have an errant server process. A few times in the last couple of hours I've noticed slim.exe consuming a lot of CPU; I've not been able to play music at those times, so I guess it's just too busy.
It seemed to stop using cycles when I shut down the MusicMagic application, but it still didn't respond (netstat says that something is listening on port 9000, but I can't tell what -- so slim.exe may or may not still be accepting requests). The process is consuming ~174MB of memory, so I've tried to stop it using the notification area icon. The process didn't disappear so I figured it was just dormant in some way, and tried to start it again -- no effect. I now have a process consuming a load of memory but not doing anything, and which I can't kill through the task manager (access denied). I'll grab a command-line kill utility soon if it doesn't disappear by itself, but I'm wondering if there's anything diagnostic I can do while it's here. I'd also like to know what caused it -- it may have been a coincidence that shutting down MusicMagic seemed to cause less CPU usage.
